Now, however, 11,279 coordinates obtained by WIRED show not only a flood of traffic to Epstein’s island property—nearly a decade after his conviction as a sex offender—but also point to as many as 166 locations throughout the US where Near Intelligence infers that visitors to Little St. James likely lived and worked. The cache also points to cities in Ukraine, the Cayman Islands, and Australia, among others.

Near Intelligence, for example, tracked devices visiting Little St. James from locations in 80 cities crisscrossing 26 US states and territories, with Florida, Massachusetts, Texas, Michigan, and New York topping the list. The coordinates point to mansions in gated communities in Michigan and Florida; homes in Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts; a nightclub in Miami; and the sidewalk across the street from Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Why do I get the distinct feeling this will go the way of the Panama Papers?

Yeah. Turns out the data killed itself next week with two to the back of the head. Another sad suicide!

I hope so.

We actually took the papers seriously in Australia and got back the missing taxes.

So it would be nice to see whoever visited from Australia given a proper look into as well.

Only somewhat seriously, plenty of people weren't caught in the net.

Quite a lot of people got in trouble from the Panama Papers.

I agree, but as an American, I didn't really pay too close attention to that issue.

Not a single name in the article. Weak.
